Dholl Puri
Dholl puri, also known as dhal puri, is a popular snack among both visitors and residents. It is a meal composed of split peas, turmeric, and cumin that is grilled on a tawa, which is a flat disc-shaped frying pan. Depending on your preferences, it can be filled with potato or kidney bean curry or rougaille. If you want to go all out, add a dash of pickled veggies and Mauritian chutney! Every bite of dholl puri is bursting with flavor! It is frequently offered at Indian wedding celebrations, but if you did not receive an invitation, you may buy this delightful delicacy wrapped in paper anywhere across the island.
